2017 formula 1 (austria) grosser preis von österreich

[R154]

I know I am early, but I can't wait.

This is one of my top 5 favourite races. Beautiful scenery (local fauna) and an exciting race, usually.

Any predictions about additional trouble towards Vettel?

As always #44 for the win.

2 DRS zones and several very tight turns means lots of passing.

I expect ferrari and mercedes to be very time gaining top heavy.

An aero track, this is.

I am excited to see what Stroll can eek out to back up his position.

Hamilton / Bottas / Verstappen P1/2/3 is the dream.

Rumor mill: Lorenzo Sassi (Ferrari's Chief Engineer) to Honda for a boat load of cash.

I can't imagine he didn't have a gardening leave requirement in his contract of 1 year though...

He has left Ferrari F1 . It is unclear whether he is still with Fiat or not.
I am not sure what Honda can do with him. At this point in time what ever Honda can do is not going to help them for another couple of years.

That's big news if true. Just when things seems to be getting stable at Ferrari.
Honda should've poached Paddy Lowe.

I think Mercedes might have the edge on this one, the track is not so curvy. Hamilton may leave his Goomba face in the trailer and as he will be riding the wave of vindication.. so he may have the face of Steve Urkel instead.

Sebastian Von Messchersmit and his Red Baron may drive sheepishly. You can never tell, he might focus his anger on the race. I still think the Red Barons have the edge over Mercedes.

You know I was watching the trailer for the first new Star Wars again the other day.. It kinda reminded me of the similarities of that and F1 this season. I swear Vettle has a shrine in his basement to Schumacher…with candles, pictures, clips of his winnings and cheating. Just like the Star Wars trailer where Kylo Ren speaks to Vadars old helmet. I imagine Vettle looking at Schumachers old helmet and speaking is a high pitched squeaky German voice ‘I vill finish vat ju started maaaaaster…’
Cut to Goomba riding down the last straight behind Vettle.. Gooma struggling to overtake and the voice of Damon Hill comes in as a high pitched voice (The kind of voice where you have your balls squeezed and are in no position to negotiate with your enemy) ‘Use the DRS Goombaaaa….’

Im off to make some tea...

Rage2 & Phreezee... where are you guys..?

[rage2]

It's summer. My Margaritaville machine has been keeping me busy. :rofl:

[R154]

Jesus Tony. You spent entirely to much time writing that little diatribe.

This will sure be a good race this weekend though.

Because of that comment, it'll be more like Russia.

I do enjoy Tony's posts haha.

[R154]

I've come to appreciate his stunted wit. I'm sure he would be a real joy to have around at your office.

[schocker]

Will we see all of the redbulls finish the race!
Don't think we will see anyone run off the track this weekend though :rofl:

[tonytiger55]

Holy crap. I forgot about Honda.... yeah I predict one car finishing.. I think it will be Alonso. But I hope he does not, he's just too comical when he doesn't....

[R154]

Well with that q1 dusting all hope remains on Bottas to hold up the finger.

I'm thinking tomorrow will actually be a really exciting race.

[flipstah]

I'm gonna enjoy my Radler if McLaren gets a point in this one.

[R154]

Well then. I think Mclarens problem in flip posting in threads before a race.

Vettel all butthurt that Valtteri is laying an assbeating

[R154]

Exciting last lap for sure. To bad for kmag. I'm happy about Valtteri beating out the finger.

[flipstah]

I'm done.

Rage2 & Phreezee... where are you guys..?

Haha, just got back from vacation and just finished watching the race.

Tired of Toro Rossos taking out the mid pack and another Max DNF. Never really enjoyed this track because of limited passing zones.

Cracking start from Bottas and being 15 points from Hamilton, I think he has a chance if Lewis' bad luck continues.

Vettel vs. telemetry data... did he brake? did he jump the start? haha

Looking forward to Silverstone, and hopefully it won't be the last one.

[rage2]

Not the most exciting race, highlights was K Mag's "Fuck Me" uncensored radio message, and Vettel going on and on and on about Bottas' jump start which wasn't a jump start. He kept going on about it in the drivers room before the podium, in post race interviews, articles. Just when I started liking him a little last year for his humor, his true colors show once again and makes me want to kick him in the balls.

[schocker]

Seb does like to commit and not let things go. Pretty boring race overall outside of the final ten laps. Crazy start by bottas though from what I saw, he let out the clutch while the lights were still on. Probably as close as you can get. Would have been nice to see what Alonso could do, thanks daniil.

[tonytiger55]

Sorry. im so late.. I just watched this now on my PVR... I was busy shagging my new girlfriend over the weekend..(Im so whacked... holy shit I can't even feel my dick anymore..)

What a start by Bottas. Especially keeping his cool at the end. That was impressive.

Von Messchersmit is starting to be a annoying cunt. I wish he would focus his Red Baron on the Race and his own driving. I mean if Bottoas had jumped it, they would have known with the tech they have now.

If there was ever more validation to whs Hamilton has a Goomba face was justified by the interview he gave at the end. His face showed the Goomba in its purest form... It would be good if someone would play the start music of Supermario during that interview.

Alonso.... LOL!!!! I wonder if he just walks back to his trailer in silence, locks himself in that bathroom, and contemplates his life choices while he sits on the stinker...?... I dunno, I would...

Battle of Britain next week in my motherland. Will Goomba reach for the sky and spitfire outa his arse to go roaring to the top of the podium..? or will Von Messchersmit come charging like a lion out of the sea..? Who knows...
